EP. 81 - Your Running & Training Questions, Answered!

This week, we answer the most asked questions in the world of running and mindset!

In order, we discuss the following:

1. If you are just starting or want to keep it simple, what are 2-3 types of runs to focus on?


2. Heart Rate! How to manage it and the mindset when you’re starting at the bottom (or over again) after an injury or long illness.


3. Ideas on a strong mindset during long and tough marathon effort workouts?


4. Mindset on race day, and how to get over running “fast”, specifically short distance racing?


5. Favorite workout(s) for putting speed back in your legs?


6. When do you strength train? After/on long run days? Easy run days? Why? 


7. Currently in marathon training and my marathon pace feels so hard. When should it feel easier? 


8. Best racing shoes? What to look for in different race distances?
